Taylor & Francis Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and
Book SynopsisLibraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces expands the dysfunctional concept in the professional and academic LIS discourse by exposing the internal problematics of libraries, especially at the social and organizational levels.Including contributions written by LIS professionals and scholars, the book demonstrates that although many libraries do well at attending to users and managing external information they often fail at taking care of their own employees and addressing internal workplace issues. Acadia and the contributing authors explore the problem of dysfunctional libraries so that the LIS profession can come to terms with the systemic dysfunction in their institutions and begin solution-oriented progress toward new and sustainable functionality. The book analyzes the dysfunctional nature of modern libraries, while simultaneously proposing solutions to reduce and alleviate dysfunction. Through theory and application, it takes an explicit practice-Table of ContentsChapter 1: An Introduction to Dysfunction in the Library Workplace; Chapter 2: The Dysfunctional Library and Academic Librarian Turnover; Chapter 3: Improving Dysfunctional Recruitment and Retention in Academic Libraries by Honoring the Whole Person; Chapter 4: Precarity Doesn’t Care: Precarious Employment as a Dysfunctional Practice in Libraries; Chapter 5: Discrimination as Dysfunction: Why do Libraries Have a Problem with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?; Chapter 6: Workplace Dysfunction and Intellectual Freedom in Public Libraries; Chapter 7: The Saboteur in the Academic Library; Chapter 8: "Put the Fucking Salary in the Job Ad!": An Analysis of an Anonymous Corpus of Tweets; Chapter 9: You are Seen: An Analysis of Library Dysfunction Found in Online Memes; Chapter 10: A Descriptive Study of Workplace Bullying in U.S. Libraries during the COVID-19 Pandemic; Chapter 11: Work Alienation in Academic Libraries: A Marxist Analysis of Library Dysfunction; Chapter 12: Bamboo Ceiling Reframed: Exclusion through Social Practices and Structures in Libraries; Chapter 13: Combating Destruction: Organizational Power and Conflict in Academic Libraries; Chapter 14: Dysfunction by (Dis)organization: The Academic Library within University Structure and Organization.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Impressively broad, reliable, judicious, and illuminating, this new edition of The Max Weber Dictionary will be useful to students, teachers, and the general reader alike. One's hand will automatically twitch towards it whenever the need arises for clarification, references, or helpful hints concerning almost any aspect of Max Weber's writings."—Hans Henrik Bruun, University of Copenhagen, editor and translator of Max Weber: Collected Methodological Writings"What an impressive undertaking! This will be an important resource to anyone interested in Max Weber's work for years to come."—Mustafa Emirbayer, University of Wisconsin, Madison"The Weber dictionary will be an indispensable source of reference for social scientists. It will contribute to a much better grasp of Weber's extensive writings."—Sam Whimster, editor of the Journal for Max Weber Studies"This is an expert work of scholarship on the most complex and difficult of the great classic sociologists. With this dictionary, Richard Swedberg and Ola Agevall clarify Weber's key concepts and their textual sources, and display his wide-ranging connections to past and present."—Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania"Richard Swedberg and Ola Agevall manage ot shine a bright light into this thicket of concepts, theories, and interpretive debates. [The Max Weber Dictionary] pays close attention to the specificity of the linguistic, cultural, and historical contexts of Weber's writing and reception.The present book is therefore more akin to a commentary on Weber's writing and Weber scholarship than a "dictionary" in the narrow sense."—George Steinmetz, The Journal of Modern History

Duke University Press Always More Than One
Book SynopsisThe philosopher, visual artist, and dancer Erin Manning explores the concept of the "more than human" in the context of movement, perception, and experience.Trade Review"Erin Manning's book offers a philosophy of neurodiverse perception, encouraging us “not to begin with the pre-chunked.” How ironic, then, that the impulse to categorize and to pathologize is generally seen as evidence of the normate’s proper functioning. In Manning’s splendid book, autism comes to signify not a disorder but a relational “dance of attention,” one that refuses to strand any entity at the margin of our concern."—Ralph James Savarese, coeditor of Autism and the Concept of Neurodiversity, a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly"In Always More Than One, Erin Manning produces a truly original choreographic thinking. I don't just mean that she writes about choreography. She thinks how the body moves, and moves her writing in step with that thinking. She performs an expanded choreography, developed in dialogue with dance, putting dance in dialogue with other practices. A must for dancers who think - and philosophers who wish they could dance."—William Forsythe, Choreographer and Artistic Director of The Forsythe Company"In this book, Erin Manning takes us on an amazing journey. It is a journey of philosophical thought, to be sure; but it is also a journey of bodies in motion, through landscapes that are enlivened and transformed by their passage. Always More Than One is a book about the vitality of the in-between. It presents a vision of life adding to life, whether in the simplest everyday encounters, or in the densely articulated webs of works of art."—Steven Shaviro, author of Post Cinematic Affect"Through inventive language and a deep engagement with continental philosophy, her authoritative text pushes thought to the limits of expressibility, and presents to the reader a world that shimmers with potential." -- Megan Bridge * Dance Chronicle *Table of ContentsPrelude / Brian Massumi ix Acknowledgments xxv 1.
